No I'm not medicated. I never had an issue with it until after surgery.

When I had my sleep study the physician I talked to about my RLS said it often can be from nutrient deficiency. I would share it with your physician, they may want to do some labs.

I'm not alone! I had surgery on 3/20 and mine kicked in about a week later. It was so bad that I thought I may have had a blood clot and had to go in for labs and an ultrasound. I'll ask my doc in about 2 weeks at my 6 week appointment.

How funny. I literally just today had to have an ultrasound to rule out blood clots. What did the cause of yours end up being. I'm going for my 2 week post op and we are going to figure something out. I just can't sleep.< /p>

I don't think I have full on RLS (yet) but I have been experiencing jittery legs at night before I fall asleep post-surgery. What are the nutrients that could be lacking that might cause it? I read a post somewhere else on the Internet and one person mentioned taking Iron at night before bed.

That could be my problem. I was only taking 1 calcium pill in the AM & 1 in PM but I was supposed to be taking 2 in AM, midday & PM. I've upped it but still have restless legs. Maybe I've gotta give it more time.

Yes give it time. A few days you just continue to take it daily you will notice you will feel better.

Could be a few different things, dehydration, Calcium and Vitamin D according to the sleep doctor I saw are the most common. I started to take presc. strength Vit D pre op because mine was so low and it helped.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
